JACK
other things of
JACK THE CONQUERER; or, Overcoming Difficulties,
And other stories. These are not light, trashy, improbable tales, but they present some
of the real difficulties which nearly all boys and girls are compelled to encounter, and
point out the best way to meet them, so as to make the difficulties
aids
to higher attain
meats instead of
hindrances.
The book will not only interest but benefit the young.
SAVONABOLA.
The life of this great preacher of Florence. The scene of the book is of course that
land of romance and song and heroism, Italia, where the Apostle Paul and other wit-
nesses of the truth finished
the "
good fight of faith." The little volume is a graphic
sketch of the most prominent events of the preacher's life and experience, the monasti-
cism of the fifteenth century, the iniquities thatprevailed, the political influence of Savon-
arola, his trial and death.
THE TONGA ISLANDS AND OTHER GROUPS—
Jottings from the Pacific No. 2. This volume is for the Tonga Islands what " jottings
from the Pacific No. 1" is for the Fijian and Samoan Groups. But there is no sameness
between the two. The islands, people, customs and products are sufficiently varied to
make another volume equal to or
exceeding in
interest the first.
LETTERS FROM THE HOLY LAND.
This book carries us from the newly discovered and explored Pacific to that of the
oldest of all lands in story and song—the land of Palestine. It is very instructive, illus_
trating many customs and practices,
peoples and things,
so different from those cif ou t-
own land. The reading of the book will
make much more intelligent
and interesting the
study and reading of the Word
of
God. It contains a large number
of illustrated
chapter
headings and full page cuts.
AMONG THE NORTHERN ICEBERGS
Lays before us an
entirely different scene. From the tropic heat of the Coral Islands of
the Pacific, from the sunny land of Italy, and the historic and mild little Palestine, we are
taken to the northland where King Frost reigns supreme, releasing only for a little time,
now and then, his icy grip that he may more securely fasten upon those helpless mariners
who wander within his domain. The book gives most interesting sketches of the Arctic
expeditions of England and our own land in the nineteenth century. The rising genera.
tion will appreciate the reading of this account second only to those who read the
graph*
narrations at the times of their occurrence. It is an interesting
and
instructive book.
Each volume
is fully illustrated and contains ,6o pages. The set, therefore, has nearly
1,000 pages, and will certainly be a valuable addition to any
library
and especially to that
of a young person.
The set of 6 books neatly bound in fancy cloth, embossed in jet and gold, and
enclosed in a box, SENT POSTPAID, $3.00.
